What's wrong with sex ? Having problems with erotic images? Perhaps you should be in the bird photography section of the galleries. There are plenty of very "stimulating" high class birds and insects in the wining entries of P.net

Igor please, for shm*&!s like Daniel put a warning

notice for them not to enter your site for it is very unhealthy for them. As for the photo, its a cliche to say it is nice-it is GREAT. You are on the right track with aesthetics. Keep attaching sexuality to your shots like you do. Female body at its best, full of youth, eroticism and form. Stimulating, provocative, beautifull and enough "gunpowder" to unjade the most jaded.

P.S. Look who negatively criticizes your photos the most. Most are from developed, English speaking countries ! Surprised ? Since when they became the bearers of world morality ? They are more outspoken against sex then our grandmothers. That is just the tip of the iceberg with Bushism

and his mid American mentality to attack self expression.

Mahrketa,

 

Is this a man that would be considered attractive in your country ? Otherwise, I dont quite

digest this photo. To be more direct, your subject looks quite "sleazy" and dated by western standards if you are into fashion aesthetics. The cigar is quite repulsive in todays age of health conciousness and is a passing fad of the 80's. Please, he is NOT a cigar smoker and

the photo seems staged in every sense. The fellow looks to me more like a character from an Uzbeki movie if there is such a thing. Also, the hat ? Is he by chance an orthodox playing "cool" ? That would have been more interesting.

You should add a medal of Lenin to this and the all encompassing word blood of "ALL" Europe would have been more aplicable. Besides, I was expecting more refreshing statement on the past event then the standard banality expressed by Soviet Agitprop and I am NOT rehabilitating the Nazis. Please, can we get deeper then "blood", "death" and other Soviet "Hollywood" terms applicable to balding consumer generation before you. Otherwise, design of the iron cross is elegant and timeless, however this one looks like a cheap immitation produced in

the land of Lenin ?

Dude, there is something wrong with you. You are crticizing a very talented person who posted some of the best work on Photo.net What are you talking about ? First, your English is very poor and you are making a total fool of yourself with silly comments. What nudes are becoming "null" ? Breaking what mold ? Please be more specific and dont "fly" in generalities. Why are nudes "null" (your poor English)? and Landscapes are good ? This is excellent work from any standpoint. Great technical as well as aesthetic qualities displayed here. One of the best on this site. Please show us more work like this and ignore fools like Don Fara.

Misha,

Your work is a masterpiece in the sea of current mediocrity. You add mystery and charm to rather mandane subjects better then anyone I have seen lately. Your technique is simple, but it only adds to the athmosphere and elegance. Your photos are interesting to a point where you can invent a movie around them. They are charged with eroticism more then others who try to force sexuality with forced nudity. Also choosing film as a medium was correct. No slicked-out digital smoothnes, your photos are natural with beautifull fine grain texture and just enough color to get the desired effect. This one is for film superiority, great depth of field sharpness fall-off and that superior skin tone. By the way is this a scanned print or slide or negative ? Would be interesting.

Keep up the good work and keep sending us your photos.

If this is a slide film. I wonder how this would print on Ilfochrome ? Must make a great print.

Your shot is very nice but somehow its either scanning technique or the screen. You lost resolution and dynamic range and it looks rather plain on the screen. Altough I can imagine that it is a very nice print. Good luck

Very good shot. Excellent saturation, natural blues, no digital gimicks and good composition.

Nice composition, good shot. However, I have seen many desert shots of the Sahara and would sugest that it would have been much better with Velvia and film camera. You would have got much more saturation and color pallete would have been more complex. Detail here is not of importance. Digital looks more oversimplified and sterile.

I love the way people are getting digital and then try to create film-like texture to their image. Anyway good shot and well treated.
